Definitely a rollercoaster of a read, many ups, a few downs but I would say it still didn't bring down the rating of the book, as it all in the end served a purpose. I like how towards the end, Dante even began to question whether he did the right thing seeking vengeance, but he also did right by the people he loved so. Also, no one can convince me otherwise Eugenie and Louise are a couple and it makes sense tbh. Also brazy how people will willingly kill their children like that.
